Protection of the environment/Conservation tips

– Always fill the washing machine with a maximum amount of

laundry for the relevant programme.

– Wash normally soiled laundry without a pre-wash.

– Instead of Ê Cottons 90 °C, choose the programme ü

ÊüCottons 60 °C with the additional function jecoPerfect.

Comparable cleaning result with significantly lower energy

consumption.

– Measure the detergent according to the manufacturer's

instructions and water hardness.

– If the laundry is then dried in the tumble dryer, select the spin

speed according to the instructions of the dryer manufacturer.
